Vernard Johnson - I'm a Witness Too I forget who on this board recommended this gospel saxophonist. Apparently a big influence on John Butcher. $2 purchase from Zia Thunderbird from a recent trip to Phoenix, Arizona.

Looks like half the houses in LA.

Those speculators are about to be disappointed, because both the LP and the CD set are already up for preorder at the official Nat King Cole website with a street date of May 31: https://natkingcole.com/pages/shop

Yep! This one is here - excellent sound

I remember it was out when all them wonderful Miles albums of the 70´s were out (On the Corner, In Concert, Live Evil, and so on and I was expecting a new Miles Davis album, and to my astonishment this was a thing of older stuff from the 60´s, but I was not disappointed at all, since I love Miles from 1948, 58, 68 same like Miles from 1978 or 1988..... Strange, they took the cover photo from a later Bud Powell album (Return of Bud Powll). There was a series of photos hot during that 1964 studio album and I like those photos most from Bud Powell, they are wonderful. But Sure Thing must have been around the early 50´s I think it was broadcasted quite often. The piece as some classical approach with fugue like lines, not exactly my alley, but it´s wonderful, how Mingus does all those bass figures. Okay, I like the piece, but never to the same amount like if he played let´s say "Woodyn You", "Salt Peanuts", I wanna be Happy or all them ballads......

“Perhaps a historic-cultural monument designation could have saved the Zimmerman house, or allowed the necessary time to delay demolition. Tragically, calls for preservation fell on deaf ears.” So hey. Apparently Chris Pratt wasn't the only one who didn't give a shit, so don't blame him.

Next up: Roy Eldridge - Dale's Wail (Verve, 2 LPs) Now this music OVERFLOWING with vitality. So much irrepressible soul coming out of that horn! Yeah!!!

Can't measure what we all owe him.

Those releases are the ones that I'm looking to get too.

The music is OK, but somewhat generic. At this point, having heard it only once, I can't say that I'd recommend it. I prefer individual albums by Hamilton (Tenorshoes) & Vaché (Polished Brass) much more. Both of these LPs feature smaller ensembles, which seem better suited to these players.

So do I.

The Cannonball's, the Lateef, and the Waldron/Lacy will look great on my shelves!

There are three more scenes posted on YT. If Cannon didn't pass that year, he had a great career in TV acting waiting for him...

FWIW, I think the Zimmerman house is (was) ugly!

Listening to the Moncur select and finding I have two copies of disc one. I remember there being some cock up but can anyone remind me why the disc had to be reissued? I have searched and can’t see an explanation. Great set but a shame only part of ‘Bout Soul included.

That is absolute horse shit logic of the first degree from major labels. Sucks that Spotify caved.

That's what we do here in Merika--we tear down what is hardly old so that we can make money demo'ing and rebuilding. It's nutty but it's the Way.

A new version of this monumental music will be out this week, sourced from a better source tape supposedly–that said I love the sound on this Japanese set and wanted to give the second disc a spin tonight. Rollins was really something else at this time (and beyond!) Sonny Rollins “Complete A Night at the.Village Vanguard” 24 Bit by RVG TOCJ 2 cd set Blue Note Japan

Third rate? Wiki: His films as a leading actor have grossed over $13 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing actors of all time. Pratt was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2015.

How is this one? I never really dug these guys, but I always liked how their records looked. Something about the late 1970s jazz ecosystem.
